rx is much stronger in prestige, worse wlb, and should be better pay but not sure on an hourly basis.

don't worry about prestige atp, you should do what role you like more

CF/R is the OG group at FTI—super well-known if you're aiming for RX banking, distressed PE, or special sits. Way more technical, more court/legal process stuff, and hours can get rough when a big case hits. But the name carries weight.

Prestige-wise, CF/R probably edges out. Pay’s close across both at the intern level, but CF/R might see slightly better bonuses FT.

Honestly just comes down to where you want to play longer term. Delta = strategic and broad. CF/R = gritty, technical, and niche but respected.
